[Jesus] said in reply, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
​
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no human being must separate.”

Matthew 19: 4-6

​Marriage preparation must be completed to fulfill the guidelines set by the Diocese of Palm Beach. At Holy Family, a parish priest, deacon, and rehearsal coordinator work together to prepare couples for the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. The parish priest and deacon will provide spiritual guidance to the engaged couple while the rehearsal coordinator will help them develop plans for their wedding. Couples will need to meet at least four to six months before their anticipated wedding date so that specific preparations and necessary documentation may be completed. Please call Holy Family's Parish Office to arrange for a meeting (335-2385).

PRAYER FOR FAMILIES 
 We bless your name, O Lord,
for sending your own incarnate Son,
to become part of a family,
so that, as He lived its life,
He would experience its worries and its joys.
We ask  you, Lord,
to protect and watch over this family,
so that in the strength of Your grace
its members may enjoy prosperity,
possess the priceless gift of Your peace,
and, as the Church alive in the home,
bear witness in this world to Your glory.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
